Male midlife crisis 27 Aug 2009

Is it more than just an excuse to buy a motorbike?

What does a man do when he is approaching middle age? If you are Nicky Campbell you write and release an album of swing music. The album is called 'Moonlight’s Back in Style' and it offers his take on the feelings men get when they reach their middle years. The male midlife crisis has usually been associated with a new sports car or perhaps even an ear piercing. But what does it really feel like and does it have to be a negative experience? Broadcasters Nicky Campbell and Peter Curran join Jenni to discuss what prompts a midlife crisis and how it can be navigated.

'Moonlight’s Back in Style' is available on Linn Records ASIN: B002J9GCA2.
